What is your favorite FF Extension?

Post by hawleyjr »

I'd don't believe this has been asked yet...

I'd say mine is the web developer extension

I'd say second fav is: ColorZilla or Reload Every

Web Developer .. Hands down #1 .. nothing else even comes close

Second: Tabbed browsing

Third: Tamper Data/Live HTTP Headers

Fun Stuff: Stumble Upon , FireSomething, Stock Ticker, Custom Theme (mine's Firecat) and Search Engine select (Gives me a drop down list of specific searches like mysql manual, php manual, google, Amazon.com,Dictionary.com, etc )

#3 webDeveloper (ditto)
#4 forcastFox (ditto)
#5 foxytunes
#6 colorzilla
#7 IETab (great for checking switching between IE-view and FF)

agreed, web dev.. however, the latest version removed some features I used often.. relating to cookies.. most notably, the delete session cookies.

I stopped using SpellBound because it kept on resetting whenever you switched back to the text to fix, say, a grammar problem.
